I'm really struggling with exfoliative cheilitis that I've had for about 12 years. The entire layer of skin on my upper and lower lips keeps peeling, and it's so sore and red underneath. I've got loads of Fordyce spots on my top lip too. I've tried attaching some pictures of my lips before. Nothing seems to work. I've tried almost every medication - tacrolimus, clobetasol, mometasone, Calendula ointment, and even Sebamed lip balm. None of these topical treatments have made any difference. I even went through a multivitamin course, hoping it would help, but no luck. I tried leaving my lips alone without peeling them, but that just made things worse, with them becoming more inflamed. The skin turns white when it gets wet and peels every day. I've seen many dermatologists who've prescribed creams, but nothing has worked so far. Is there any kind of surgical option that might help since the treatments just aren't doing anything?

I'm using Seba med anti hair loss shampoo because a dermatologist recommended it, and while it seems to cut down on the hair fall during washing, I've noticed my hair gets really dry after and I end up losing more hair once it dries out. Is there something I should be doing differently, or any advice on how to handle this issue?
Seba med anti hair loss shampoo may be too drying for your hair. I recommend switching to a moisturizing shampoo like Pantene Pro-V Moisture Renewal Shampoo. Additionally, you can use a conditioner like Dove Nutritive Solutions Daily Moisture Conditioner to help hydrate your hair and reduce hair fall. Make sure to use lukewarm water for washing and avoid hot water, as it can further dry out your hair.
